FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
THE CASTAWAY CHICKS.

Three little chickens, at close of day,
Left mother heD, and roamed away:
Two costly nestled inside of a Toe
With one on the outside TO scan the view.
AS the tide came in and carried the shoe
Over the wave like small canoe:
While the chickens, oh, the poor little things
Wished themselves back under mothers wings.
But the waves were high, and all were drowned
The three little chickens were never found:
So may their fate be a lesson, pray
To all other chickens that run away

He Won't Stay Long.
Merchant Traveller.

s'Billy Bliven is awfully unpopular with
the landlady, amt he?" said one of the
young lady boarders, referring to a young
travelling man who had recently taken up
his abode there.
"Yes, and I don't wonder at it. Did
you see what he did this morning? He
lust waited until ne knew she was looking
and then he put three spoonfuls of sugar
in the sirup."
HE did? 1 guess he won't stay
long"

Here ill this favored land in ahe midst of winter, while sleighbells are heard iD sister territories and great suffering from cold is reported, the birds are heard to sing their merry songs of gladness, and eternal spring abounds. The mining districts contain un- told wealth, the ranges are capable of sus- talning thousands of cattle, and the soil invites the agriculturist to SOW and reap
 All this can be done without the expo- sure to extreme heat and cold incident to other countries, where mineral wealth. food ranges and soil exist There the winters are severe and the summers hot. here both winter and summer are mod crate. Last winter while the cattle of Montana and Washington territories were freezing by the thousands, the cattle of southern Arizona were fat and sleek.

 The day when murderers and thieves controlled the country has passed. Civil ization has been planted aliko, in the mines, on the range and farm, and the era of prosperity has already set in. The Epitaph has on former occasions made mention of these facts and by so doing it has attracted capital to seek investments. It feels proud to see the country, fol whose interest it has labored, give evi dence of prosperity and in the future, as in the past, it will continue it's labors looking only to the advancement of the country, its general good and the welfare of it's people. Concerted action on the part of the press and the people will soor place this country on an equal footing with Southern California, but nothing short of this kind of work will counterac the prejudice abroad that it is Q barrer waste unfit for anything save wild beasts cut-throats and savages.-Epitaph.

TIE starting up of the Reymert mill gives to Pinal county five bullion produc- ing mines, the output of which adds an important sum to the worlds supply of the precious metals. These tangible re suits of what some people term the gamble of mining" show conclusively that when the industry is conducted up on the careful business principles essen. tial to success in every industrial or com mercial pursuit, mining becomes highly profitable and legitimate calling, beset by no extreme hazards that do not menace every other following in life. The fail ures Tn mining, particularly in Arizona, must be laid at some other door than the merits of the mining properties them selves. Lack of experience, judgment and skill enter largely into the causes of those disastrous failures wiongfully attributed to the worthlessness of the mines; and in fact the dumb rocks are made to bear all the blnine of Ignorance and avarice, for they are unable to resent the base charge. If one will take the trouble to examine carefully into the af- fairs of any producing mine he will dis cover that success Is as much the result of sound business management as it is of the merits of the mine. The combination of the two qualifications art indispensable, and one without the othel cannot hope for great results. The Sil yer King, the Vekol, the Southern Belle the Mammoth, and the Reymert are al managed with intelligent ability, tha makes the most out of the riches tn mines contain. They are bright exam ples in the mining world and the lessor they teach, if properly needed, will great ly lower the high percentage of failure that the records now show.

The ErFccfs Of Mental Exhaus tEon.

Many diseases, especially those of the nervous system, are the products of daily renewed mental exhaustion. Business avocations often involve an amount of mental wear and tear very prejudicial to physical health, and the professions, If arduously pursued, are no less destruct- i've to brain and. nerve tissue It is one of the most important attributes of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters that it compen- sates for this undue loss of tissue, and that it imparts new energy to the brain and nerves. The rapidity with which it renews weakened mental energy and physical vitality is remarkable, and shows that it's invigorating properties are of the highest order Besides increasing vital stamina and counteracting the ef. fecfs of mental exhaustion, this poten- tial medicine cures and prevents fever and ague, rheumatism, chronic dyspep- sia and constipation, kidney and uterine i weakness and other complaints Physi- eians also commend it as medicated stimulant and remedy.

City or Chihuahua.

A ride of 255 miles over a country possessing nothing of special interest brings us to the city of Chihuahua, Capital of the State of the same name, a city of 17,000 Inhabitants. The houses are mostly built of adobe, generally in one story, and the long, straight streets, danked on either side by these low whitish-colored houses, soon become monotonous to the eeye. The Grand Plaza, in the centre of which hand some fountain is situated, is the loung- ing-place of the citizens of all grades, and their characteristic indolence is strongly impressed upon the stranger as he sees them stunning themselves by day and contemplating or gossiping at night with the ever-present cigarette. The crowds as they saunter about in their native costumes present scene pleas ingly picturesque, the sombrero. the serape, and the reboso in varied colors rendering it a pretty sight. Here we see an aquadore with a large jug of water on his back, suspended by a leather band about his forehead; in front of him hangs hls small jug, sus- tained by Q band passing around the back of his head. Again, those of the wealthy class with their elegantly silver trimmed sombreros, heavily braid ed short jackets, tight-fitting trousers, studded down the sides with buttons of silver. Mingling with the crowd are also the poorer classes, with their gaudy serapes loosely thrown over their shoulders, and wearing huaraches | Heather sandals. fastened with straps over the instep and across the ball of the foot, a close inspection often re- vealing the fact that the blanket is the sole covering to the upper part of the body. Tine pretty sonora, poorly clad, without even sandal, is lounging at the fountain, her shabbiness concealed by the usual black shawl gracefully thrown over her head and shoulders, extending well down the body, showing bronzed feet and ankles, well modelled and graceful, though neither small noI soft in appearance; the ever feminine characteristic is not wanting even here for, conscious of her beauty, she lift; her watering from her shoulder, and resting it on the edge of the fountain | glances about with her brilliant black eyes; her soft olive complexion, beauti fully chiseled features, and regular white teeth render her fascinating picture.

 land office that upon the reports made to the general land office by Special Agent Slater their entries will be cancelled un- less his statements are disproved by a stated date in July. Among these are several bona 6de settlers to whom great injustice is being worked and they can not imagine cause tor their persecution. We do not countenance any attempt to acquire either a large or small portion of tho public domain by misrepresentation and fraud, but when Q bona fde settler transforms barren waste of land into a productive farm we believe the laws should give him their full protection rather than made the means by a strain ed and unreasonable technicality to op- press bim. One case in particular is that of the lands of Joe and Andrew Spinas, near the Owl Heads. They settled upon their land in 1872 and 1873 respectively, when it was withdrawn from market as railroad land. They cultivated it, and by hard toll and industry they harvested good crops and sold their grain and hay in the best available markets for many years. When these forfeited railroad lands were restored to the public domain and opened for entry these settlers made homestead entries of the tracts they oc- cupied. They also own small herd of cattle, and during the dry season they are compelled to drive the stock into the hills to graze, and it was during one of these brief periods of temporary absence that the special inspector of the general land office discovered very gauzy tech nical violation of the law on their part and made recommendation that they be deprived of the fruits of their long years of toll and industry We do not apprc
 bend that the recommendation of the special agent will carry any decisive weight when the facts are laid before the department, but the annoyance and ex. pense during the busy harvesting days, in making the tedious contest and taking witnesses and counsel many miles to ap, pear before the officers of the land office
 is useless and unwarranted oppression for which there is no compensating in. demnity. IL would be better, if men ol judgment and discretion were employed in making special investigations, and that they be held personally responsible for all damages in every case where tht facts are shown to be insufficient for contest. There are certainly sufficient ceses of palpable fraud in the acquisition of government land to occupy the atten
 tion of the authorities without stretching technicalities for opportunities to exhibit . jealous devotion to official duty.
